How one perceives God affects everything about them. Our image of God affects how we do life. This is a message about the Goodness of God and how that will change how we live. 

Every believer is in a spiritual battle. We have an enemy. How do we successfully fight in this battle? This message is drawn from the story of David and Goliath. This story powerfully illustrates the part that words play in a spiritual battle. 

A message talking about the value of mothers in our lives. This message focuses on the mother of Moses (Ex 2:1-10) and how her life impacted him and helped to make him the man that God called him to be. 

Samuel and Stacy Just sharing about their time ministering to the homeless in Spokane. Also, various people from the Grace congregation sharing a SOAP (scripture, observation, application, prayer) from their personal devotions.  

Learning to live on the offense instead of the defense. God has called the church to live on the offense (combating darkness in the world). Living offensively begins with praying offensively. 

Since Jesus Christ has risen from the dead, how shall we then live? The enemy was defeated on the cross. Jesus ushered us into a new covenant. The Holy Spirit has come to live inside of us. How shall we then live? This is a message about living on the offensive vs. the defensive. 

Ernie Salinas sharing a message with the Grace congregation about God's majestic presence in our everyday lives.

The final message in this series. It is very important to see the Big Picture of what God is up to in the earth today. As His people, we have an assignment. If we can see the Big Picture, we will be able to understand our assignment. 

Rollie Snider sharing a message with the Grace congregation. 

Frank Glaspey sharing a message with the Grace family in the series about perspective (Seeing the Big Picture). It is so important for us to see things from heaven's perspective. 

This message is about understanding what God is up to in the earth today. The importance of seeing the big picture and not being sidetracked on any of the details. The Kingdom of Heaven is being released into the earth today and we are part of it.

As we look at the Bible Story. can we see the big picture? If we don't see what God is up to on planet Earth we might easily miss our assignment while we are here. This is the second is a series on perspective. 

A message shared by Frank Glaspey with the Grace congregation. We will all stand before the judgement of our King. Those of us that follow Christ, Jesus took our judgment and our lives are under His blood. We must be careful not to hold offense or judgement in our hearts for others. With God's help, we have the power to forgive everyone. 

It is very important that we as God's people see the Big Picture lest we get distracted or tangled up in the details. The expression not seeing the forest for the trees applies. What is the Bible about? This is the beginning of a series about seeing the Big Picture.

Learning to embrace Kingdom Thinking comes from God's Word and the Holy Spirit. The Promises of God are meant to ignite our sanctified imagination. God made promises to us so that we would go after them. They are designed to ignite something inside of us that propels us into our destiny. 

The way that we get the TRUTH of God's word inside of us is through meditation. Bible meditation requires the activity of the Holy Spriit in our lives. It involves speaking, thinking and doing the Word of God (Joshua 1:8). When His truth gets inside of us, it becomes the truth that we live from and do life from. 

God desires to change the way we think by us embracing His thoughts (from the Bible). As we embrace His thoughts, it activates our imagination to have dreams that line up with God's desire for our lives. Bible meditation is meant to activate our imaginations.

A message based on Ezekiel 37 about God encouraging us to dream again. He wants to breathe afresh upon us and resurrect the dreams He has given us in the past. They are for such a time as this. 

The greatest invasion from heaven to earth took place when God became a man in the form of Jesus Christ in virgin birth. There is no greater revelation of what God is like than Jesus Christ. He revealed to us the very nature and character of God. 

When we have real Bible HOPE it will activate our sanctified imagination. We receive things from God inwardly before we experience them outwardly. This is a message about the part that our imagination plays in receiving things by prayer.

Kingdom thinking involves letting God's Word paint pictures in our sanctified imagination. This message is about the importance of using our imagination to conceive the things that God wants to do in our life. 

Various people from the Grace congregation sharing a SOAP (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer) from their personal devotions. 

Jesus taught us by His words but also by the way He lived that the secret to living is giving. We were (re)created to be a blessing to those around us. The most filfilling and satisfying life is one lived (looking outward) and desiring to be a blessing to others. Jesus said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Acts 20:35

A message shared by Samuel Just about how to be free from the entanglement of sin. Sometimes we have allowed doors in our life that give the enemy access to us. This message is about how to close those doors and break strongholds in our life. 

The words that we speak are very important. We know that words are powerful because God created everything with His Words. We know that Proverbs tells us that death and life are in the power of our words. This is a message encouraging all of us to speak life with our words. To speak life over ourselves and over those that are around us. The key to speaking life has to do with what we have in abundance in our heart (Luke 6:45). 

Various people from the Grace congregation sharing a SOAP (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer) from their personal devotions. 

God desires us to be transformed by the renewing of our mind (Romans 12:2). That takes place by the Word of God. Words are designed to paint pictures. God's Word will begin to paint an accurate picture in our heart. Words paint pictures and God desire to fill our sanctified imagination with pictures from His Word. 

As children of God, God wants us to learn to think like a child of God. Changed living begins with changed thinking. We are to be "transformed by the renewing of our mind" Romans 12:2. This is a message about learning to have kingdom thinking.

Edgar Arreola sharing a testimony about his family and their experience of the faithfulness of God in their lives. 

Kingdom thinking involves seeing beyond the natural realm. Faith sees the spiritual realities that came into being because of the cross. The spiritual realities that Jesus purchased for us on the cross. We were not designed to live only aware of what our natural eyes can see. 

This is the beginning of a series about allowing the leaven of the Kingdom to be what infiltrates our thinking (rather than the leaven of Herod or the leaven of the Pharisees). This is about learning to live with e Kingdom perspective.

There is a lot in Scripture to indicate that as we play, God moves as a result of our prayers in the earth. This is a message about how when we pray in our prayer language, we are praying out God's plan for our lives. 

This is the second part of a message about the significance of God's Word in our lives. God's Word is so much more than a book (The Bible). God created the heavens and the earth by His Word. He is upholding all things by His Word. All that Gld created is still subject to the Word of God. 

Some people sharing a SOAP (scripture, observation, application, prayer) from their personal devotions. A personal testimony about faith and a message about obeying the Holy Spirit. 

This message is about seeing the Word of God for what it really is. It is so much more than a book. It was what created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1) and what is even now holding all things together (Hebrews 1:3). Lord, open our eyes to .understand your Word. 

One of the keys to walking with GOD is to slow down and not live such a hurried life. Learn to be fully present in every moment. Jesus was never in a hurry and He was always fully present. He is modeled a way for us to live. 

One of the most important rhythms of the kingdom involves that balance between rest and work (abiding and fruitfulness, pruning and more fruit, being a son and doing the works of a son). This is a message about the importance of rest and abiding. 

Various people from the Grace congregation sharing a SOAP (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer) from their personal devotions. 

There is a principle behind the Sabbath that we all need to put into practice in our lives. We all need down-time (time to refresh and rejuvenate). God didn't create us to go 24/7. We need to give ourselves permission to let go of all of the activity of life and spend quality time with God. This is not a message about a legalistic approach to the Sabbath but to understanding why we need Sabbath times. 

One of the most amazing gifts that God has given us is the Holy Spirit. As we are focusing on the rhythm of prayer, praying in the spirit is a weapon that God has given us in our warfare against the enemy. This is a message on the important place it plays in our lives. 

Frank Glaspey shared a message with the Grace Congregation on the importance of love. Walking in love is s key to having a strong and healthy faith. 

Various people from the Grace congregation sharing a SOAP (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer) from their personal devotions. 

This is a message about the kinds of tongues that are spoken about in the New Testament and their value in our spiritual life. This message is particularly focused on tongues for intercession and tongues for personal edification and revelation.

We, as Christians, are all in a process of becoming like Jesus. That process involved a brokenness in our lives that allows God to live in and through us. This message is about the importance of that brokenness.

This message was shared on Father's Day 2024. There is a blessing that God wants to give everyone of His children. It is meant to be passed onto each child through their earthly father. Many did not have a natural father that understood his role. If you are one of those people, this message is especially for you.
